Hello! My name is Howell.
I'm a supply chain technologist specializing in inventory traceability, warehouse optimization, and secure data collaboration for enterprise logistics. At the intersection of real-time tracking systems and physical operations, I build logistics solutions that improve fulfillment accuracy and ensure asset integrity.
My focus: Making supply chains trustworthy by design, so products can't vanish, get faked, or lose their history.
This site is my workshop:
the-TRUSTLESS-report is where I break down blockchain news without the hype, for anyone who's heard "smart contract" but wants to know what it can actually do. What if you could scan a tomato's label to see its entire journey from soil to supermarket? Or if you could prove for yourself that your designer bag isn't counterfeit? My essays explore how blockchain technology makes such validations possible, and what it might take to get more users on board.
research-log: Technical notes on tools I've built and supply chain vulnerabilities I've found and reported. Lately, I'm exploring demand forecasting models that protect trade secrets, like using federated learning to anonymize supplier inputs while improving fill rates.
Ethical penetration testing plays a central role in my work, and the global security research community has been instrumental in my learning and growth. I’m pushing myself to build in public now - sharing insights and progress here in hopes of contributing to our culture, connecting, and maybe helping others along the way.
